Timeline

1900

Acharya Gogineni Ranga Nayukulu (7 November 1900 – 9 June 1995), also known as N. G. Ranga, was an Indian freedom fighter, classical liberal, parliamentarian and farmers' leader.

He was the founding president of the Swatantra Party, and an exponent of the peasant philosophy.

He received the Padma Vibhushan award for his contributions to the Peasant Movement.

1926

He received a BLitt degree in Economics from the University of Oxford in 1926.

Upon his return to India, he started teaching as a professor of economics at Pachaiyappa's College, Madras (Chennai).

In Oxford, Ranga was influenced by the works of H. G. Wells, Sydney Webb, Bertrand Russell, and John Stuart Mill.

Initially attracted to guild socialism in Europe, the progress of the USSR would turn him into a Marxist.

1929

Ranga met Mahatma Gandhi in Madras and was so impressed that he joined the civil disobedience movement in 1929.

1930

N.G. Ranga served in the Indian Parliament for six decades, from 1930 to 1991.

Ranga was born in Nidubrolu village in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh.

He went to school in his native village, and graduated from the Andhra-Christian College, Guntur.

Later, the Stalinist oppression of peasants and forced collectivization in the 1930s drove Ranga away from the Marxist fold.

He became part of mainstream politics with his entry in the central assembly in 1930.

He opposed the Simon Commission report and participated in the first Round Table Conference.

Based on methodology of the British Labour Party's political school, he went on to establish similar schools in Andhra to turn peasants into politically conscious citizens.

Ranga joined the freedom movement inspired by Gandhi's clarion call in 1930.

1933

He led the ryot agitation in 1933.

He wrote a book, Bapu Blesses, about his discussions with Gandhi.

In the course of the Indian freedom struggle, he led the historic Ryot Agitation of Andhra in 1933.

His pro-peasantry advocacy was reflected in his support of the farmers’ agitation against the zamindari oppression at Venkatagiri.

He convinced Gandhi to support the movement, despite opposition from other members of Congress.

The peasant movement gradually intensified and spread across the rest of India.

1934

The first Andhra Farmers’ School was opened in 1934 at his native village Nidubrolu.

1936

All of these radical developments on the peasant front culminated in the formation of the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) at the Lucknow session of the Indian National Congress in April 1936, with Sahajanda Saraswati elected as its first president and Ranga as a general secretary.

The Kisan Manifesto, which was released in August 1936, demanded the abolition of the zamindari system and the cancellation of rural debts.

Ranga continuously organized farmers of the region.

1940

Along with his wife, Bharathi Devi, he associated himself with the Satyagraha (1940) and the Quit India Movement (1942), and also played a decisive role in connecting peasants with the national liberation movement.

1946

He was elected as a member of the Constituent Assembly in 1946 and became a member of the Provisional Parliament of India until after the first elections under the new constitution in 1952.

Ranga wrote multiple books, one of them being Bapu Blesses, regarding his discussions with Gandhi.

Ranga's academic publications were mostly written about the conditions of peasants and laborers in the countryside.

Known as Rythu Ranga and Coolie Ranga, he fought against both the colonial and socialist Indian state to ensure dignity for farmers.

He wrote other books on diverse subjects like the credo of world peasantry, economic organization of Indian villages, and the Indian adult education movement.

Ranga published 65 books in English, including:

He also published 15 books in Telugu, including:

1951

In 1951, in a closely contested presidential election of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee, Ranga was defeated by Neelam Sanjiva Reddy.

Due to ideological differences, Ranga and Tanguturi Prakasam resigned from Congress and organized the Hyderabad State Praja Party, which was further split into the Krishikar Lok Party (KLP) for peasants, under the leadership of Ranga as the president.

KLP contested the 1951 Lok Sabha elections, winning one seat.

1952

KLP also contested the 1952 Madras Legislative Assembly election and won 15 seats.

1955

In the 1955 Andhra State Legislative Assembly election, Congress, Praja Party and KLP formed an alliance and KLP won 22 seats.

After the election, on the request of Nehru, Ranga merged KLP with the Congress party.
